Amon Tobin's amazing live show, must see!

Flare · 26 Oct 2011 at 14:28

Amon Tobin is a musician but this thread is about the live show not the actual music so I am pretty sure it is more suited in GD than the Music, Box Office, TV & Books sub forum.

Anyway, I will hopefully be seeing this guy very at the end of next month in London, I don't know his music very well but I want to go just for the show, it is unbelievable:

*edit* i'd suggest watching these in full screen

Short trailer for the live show which shows a bit about the construction of the set up:

Video talking about the technology used, Project Mapping:

The extended trailer which reveals a lot more as to the construction and how it works:

So a glorified light show with electronic music. Definitely not my way of being blown away.

Obviously the effect of the show is better if you see it after you've dropped a few.

It's a bit more than a glorified light show...

If you like listening to crap music and watching boxes move around, you should go to any 24hr Supermarket in the UK at 2am - 4am, you'd love it and it'd be completely FREE!

Haha, it's not just 'boxes moving around', check out the Mutek Premier video.

I did, and you were wrong. The whole purpose of the music subforum is to encompass this type of thread. Ergo the many music video/live show review threads. However, I'm not here to argue that, I am a fan of Amon Tobin, and I appreciate the massive amount of effort and work that's gone into this spectacular stage show.

Ok, a glorified, animated light show and as I said he plays his electronic music at the same time. I presume the little bit more is the few pills you pop to make it a bearable experience.

See i do quite like listening to Amon Tobin at times. Show looks interesting.

I hate it when they show peoples reviews, it winds me up as they almost always consist of annoying adjectives that are overused such as "Amazing".

You obviously have not heard Amon Tobin's music, actually you probably have but didn't know who composed the music. The man is a genius in the electronic music genre.

Listening to ISAM is a pretty mind bending experience on a simple pair of headphones, I can only imagine how awesome it would sound live.

You know what really annoys me, people who add pointless posts to threads.

His stuff is amazing but let's not turn this in to a discussion about his music, if that's what you want head over to the music forum
